Pluot

This is a pluot tree that I planted on 5 March 2014. It has three varieties of pluot on it:
  • Supreme
  • Queen
  • Dapple Dandy
It flowered and some fruit set. Only one of the pluots survived and it grew to the size of a ping pong ball and then one day mysteriously disappeared so I never got to try it.

A pluot is a hybrid between a plumb and an apricot. An aprium is also a hybrid between a plumb and an apricot. The difference is that a pluot has more plumb than apricot and an aprium more apricot than plumb.
